US Army combat veteran, Kyle Cardenas, had a violent interaction with the police when they came to his home after his family reached out to the VA for crisis help due to Kyle’s PTSD. After serving two tours in Iraq, Kyle was “suffering from delusions back in September and was showing “intense signs of PTSD” directly attributed to his deployments to Mosul, Iraq.
The family was seeking help for Kyle, but instead Kyle got a beating at the hands of the Gilbert Police.
According to the complaint, Cardenas initially struggled with the officers before retreating to his room. It went on to say: “The police charged into this bedroom … and attempted to restrain Kyle again. During the melee, the officers Tased Kyle at least seven times, sprayed OC spray directly into Kyle’s face, struck Kyle multiple times with their batons, punched Kyle in the face with closed fists, kicked and kneed Kyle in the thighs and legs, and ordered one of the K-9 unit dogs to attack and bite Kyle.”
The fight triggered an episode, apparently, and Kyle was rushed to the hospital.
Cardenas is charging police with assault and battery, excessive force, false arrest, and negligent hiring, training, and supervision. He’s seeking $20 million to settle the case. Scott Zwillinger, Cardenas’s attorney, said if the police department declines to settle, his client is “prepared to proceed with litigation to recover not only his damages, but to raise awareness of what is occurring on a daily basis throughout the United States relating to the rising numbers of veterans being shot and killed by the police.”

Jerry Deaton Your question, based on your negative outlook on life does not bare an answer. Besides, no matter how I answer, you will just come up with a bunch more p**s poor reasons you are too cowardly to be the change instead of hiding in the shadows and throwing out cheap shots at people better than you could ever aspire to be. I hope that answered your interest? I though, really have spent too much time on you. Be keep slinging from the shadows, maybe you will convince somebody someday that you should be listened to.
asshole
Michael Matteson Jerry is the president of the Tin Foil hat brigade. He is so fixated on whst he believes that there is NOTHING anyone can say or do that would ever change his mind.
Facts ? He relies on various websites who admittedly estimate all of the deaths he claims as facts. IDF trained ? DHS trained 5,000 people killed by the police since 9/11 ? I was in the military from 78-82. And the National Guard from 83-86. Then I was a police officer from 86-2011. I remain in close contact with some of my former co workers. There is no IDF / DHS training. There is no nationwide beat down / gun down murdering 5000 people since 911. He refuses to acknowledge any possibillity that the police do use firce deadly force sometimes because the people they deal with force them to. I never killed anyone but i hurt a few and have zero remorse for what i had to do as part of my duties.
Have a few officers gone beyond there legal authority ( S Carolina) ? Yes. It is by far the exception and when they do so, they need to be held accountable.
Jerry, go back to swimming around in your fishbowl world of conspiracies and say hi to Art Bell for me.
You are a liberal and an idiot
